Possible ripp off, how do I proceed?
I know this is pretty common, but I am starting to get concerned.
I have a trade in progress with Jaycine (that is his member name) . I have mailed to him and, according the the tracking number, he has received my items. BUT, so far, I have not had an email confirming he has received them, or received my items.
He has had my items almost a week now, with no response or my items forthcoming. Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

UNfornatly, he only listed a PM as a way to get ahold of him.
I will have to delve into ways other than PMs to contact him. Maybee a registered letter to the delivery address might do the trick.

I suggest that you send a complaint to the post office before you press charges, or claim a bad trader. I just finished a deal with a great trader, and we simply had a problem where the package got lost and ended up in a post office warehouse in England. When everything was sorted out, it took about a month or so for him to get the things I sent. So, contact the post office first. Good luck with your trade

I'm with 'Sid on this one.
it would e ONE thing if the guy was staying in contact (I'm going through one of those, now.... but I believe the trader)... but this guy is not answering the PM's or anything.
I say nail him with a BTR.
